Question

A baker uses 13 and one half

cups of flour to make bread. She uses 2 and one fourth

cups of flour to make each loaf. The baker sells two thirds

of the loaves of bread that she makes. How many loaves of bread does the baker​ sell? Explain.

HelP!!!

Answer 1

She sells four loaves of bread.

Explanation:

First, convert you fractions to decimals.

13 1/2 = 13.5

2 1/4 -2.25

Next, divide 13.5 by 2.25.

13.5/2.25=6

Two thirds of 6 is 4.

Therefore, the baker sold four loaves of bread.
